Dad Reacts to Kanye West - Donda (Pt. 1/2)

every fecking post. shut up

Alistair

Run the Jewels

Sergio Mendez

tbf this has never been confirmed and likely isn't true

jeff smith

Correct. Kinda made me upset they were joking about it. I understand they didn't know, but Kanye wouldn't put something like that in with no purpose.

Zach

Donda has held up so well

Cody Steel

the Donda intro is suppose to be representative of her last heartbeats before she died if I'm not mistaken

Jose Garwell Mendoza

Lil Wayne album please!

BeauBlends

you should show him The Bigger Picture by Lil Baby with the video

Sebastian Cabrera

Big up Black Country New Road in the back

tom crundwell

im not even christian but i am when i listen to that song

Jack

24 holds a little extra importance when you factor in the song's relation to Kobe, making it a bit more relatable.

Azhar moolla

can yall please react to a khruangbin album

Nbeutler11

Yeah im not religious but idk how that song doesn't hit you in the soul.

Tyler Scott

I get it’s all personal opinion but I don’t understand how listening to 24 can’t make you feel like you levitate

Young Lord

Personally I see the first song, donda, as kanye being a kid and calling for his mom, imagine being a kid and calling out to mom, you're just saying mom mom mom. I felt kanye going through what he is going through is calling out for his mom for help.*Oufits are opposites !

Miguel

The problem is they mostly do albums that Conor likes you who knows if he ever listened to those

Eli Devine

Y’all gotta do some weeknd!

Justin Goodger

So a lil background on the globglob monster from remote control. A YouTuber videogamedunkey was trolling on stream one day saying he stole the donda files and did an album reaction of meme songs. The globglob monster was one of the songs and apparently ye watched the stream and put it on the album lol

Nick lemke

Listening to the album on headphones will never match the MBS experience. Y’all should of reacted to the listening parties and the development of the album. It could of been a series.

Zar

I actually feel like the original tells a better story in that order. Being jailed in the beginning and becoming free through God, his family, and himself at the end. The deluxe version feels more jumbled.

Brandon Kincaid

No

Isaac

Tall should have done the deluxe version in its entirety because that's more of how Kanye intended it to be- thats why the tracklist order is so different... The deluxe version has a completely different feel to it... This version is all over the place because Universal released it before Kanye was ready for it to come out so they just put it out... So this version of Donda you can say is the labels version however the Deluxe is the way Kanye wanted to release the album... That's why y'all should did that one...

Rudolph Patten

I hate that he’s referring to Lil Baby as relatively new in the game, and in the same sentience as Vuori. Anyone else bothered by downplaying how big he is now?

Max Labell

I need part 2 im starving

Ryan

Kevin’s mean mug face while listening to Fivio Foreign’s verse on Off The Grid just exemplifies the experience of listening to some hard ass hip hop lmao and it shows how far he’s come. I love it.

Brendon

update on pt 2 please

IAmLegend

Honestly I have a feeling they cancelled it. I feel like Kevin didn’t react the way Connor thought he would. Should have given him a heads up about what the album was about. I think Kevin will learn to like it once he listens to it a bit more and accepts it for what it is.

MusicEnjoyer8

i need part 2 soon lmao

Ronald G

they really drug out part 2 huh

Dan L

PLZ SIR CAN I HAVE PT 2

kingcane

Meanwhile, on Pure Souls: " And I'm just a product of whatever I was raised in " The dichotomy of Donda.

yeo

You should do 070 Shake's new album, I highly recommend.

Cutler Barrett

"They say I'm a product of my environment, I tell 'em no I'm what God produced" Then you realize Kanye produced the track.

FuzzyDunlop

Turbografx16, Yandhi, Watch the Throne, the UNDERRATED Cruel Summer...GOOD Fridays...Runaway film...you got some stuff left.

FuzzyDunlop

"Burritos before Donda" sounds like a self discovery book someone would release in 1995

FuzzyDunlop

Are you maybe doing Yandhi sometime? That would be pretty cool. Not all the Leaks but essentials maybe?

Mauretanias Kette

when are you uploading the next part?

Julius H

Please do 070 shake it’s an amazing album

24KaratGarrett

Yeah Connor said so in the video, theyll play Deluxe tracks at the end instead of Pt 2s

yeo

THIS ISNT THE UPDATED TRACKLIST ORDER RIGHT???? SO WILL LIFE OF THE PARTY BE ON THERE? AND NEVER ABANDON YOUR FAMILY?

Villuhz

So presumably, the globgogabgalab started from videogamedunkey's channel, where he did a video where he "leaked donda." He featured that sample in the video, and it got spammed in the Kanye discord until Kanye and his producers added it themselves.

catswork

update on part 2??

William Mosello

do 070 shake please

William Lajoie

fr they gotta do some peggy

Jesse Kerman

ChampagnePapi

Martin Lopez

Please do more j cole!!! His discography is too amazing to ignore! Friday night lights, come up season, born sinner, for your eyes only, kod, the off season, they’re all amazing!

stanley jones

now the kanye journey is over, it’s time to start the journey with the 6 god himself 🦉

Kyle Calcutt

haha hey I think yall forgot to upload 2nd part haha

Mikrowellenburger

Man if you personally enjoy camp and 3.15 that’s awesome and I’m happy you like them. But you have to understand that for the general public, these albums are nothing more than annoying, pretentious and uninteresting (with a few moments and songs being minor to huge exceptions) BTI and kuai would be cool. I don’t think the majority of music fans cringe at these two projects. See what I’m saying ?

Tyler Maddux

part 2 pls 🙏

Rodney

Any reason you didn't want to take your dad on Donald Glovers musical progression like Kanye? It's just as, if not more noticable over time than Kanye's and you kinda did him a disservice by showing him me and your mama first

PlatinumRMX

Please do the evolution of Mac! I know he’ll love that as well

Andy Rodriguez

I would love to see a JPEGMAFIA LP! reaction. It’s so different from everything else out there

Jerome Evans

You should follow up Donda with Watch the Throne

Tyler Dixon

if youve lost someone i think its very emotional no matter your beliefs

papaollie

Was there a delay on Part 2? I guess you guys weren't able to record it the day after?

Matt

24 brings me to tears almost every time I hear it and I’m not even religious. Weird how that one seems to be a miss for a lot of others when it’s likely my favorite. So powerful

Tyler Maddux

I haven’t been watching lately been busy. Glad to see I come back to some great album reviews.

Ethan Law

Buju Banton (Jamaican) is one of the most popular reggae artist in the world, Im from Jamaica!

BeyondSahaj

do astroworld

Ethan Blart

still hopefully go back to wtt and cruel summer

bL

i tihnk they said theyd do the deluxe tracks after the rest on pt 2!

papaollie

I feel like a majority of people think it’s beautiful

MusicEnjoyer8

so crazy how it seems like 24 does not hit at all for other people like it hits for me, incredible song. im not even religious its just something abt that one

Mark O'Brien

remote control 2 wins purely for extended globglogabgalab

Robyn Castro

honestly I have a weird feeling he won’t like it

Robyn Castro

It makes sense that way but sadly there’s no confirmation if that’s true. Though specifically Tame Impala adlib Kevin points out is actually also funny considering it’s not the only time Baby Keem has used the name as an adlib on a song

Robyn Castro

Make sure you show Kevin "Life of the Party" w/ Andre 3000. It's everything he is looking for as a tribute to Donda.

Matthew Korsak

Can't wait for part 2!

Ethan Hunt

I think he said 808s or Yeezus

MusicEnjoyer8

I really wonder which album is Kevin's favorite after going through Ye's whole discography

Jan S.

Yhandi, Yhandi, Yhandi, Yhandi, Yhandi,

mwdoom

Finally made it to Donda, wow what a journey

Colungga

it hurt me when kevin said 24 "didn't kill him"

Aaron Clark

remote control is fire

Aaron Clark

if so, that makes the transition from Donda into Jail so meta. Donda ends and jail starts w/ that harsh guitar like the moment of death, and then the song is about being in jail. Jail being an allegory to purgatory, where you must cleanse your sins before going to heaven.

william taylor

Also, I thinks it’s ok to say Remote Control is a BADDDD song lol

Alex Cagle-Sanchez

Can’t wait to see Kevin’s reaction to Come To Life.

Alex Cagle-Sanchez

Beerbongs & Bentleys would be awesome

Justin Talley

Funny how Kevin realized that Baby Keem's verse makes no sense because it was meant to be a place-holder that just made it onto the album lol.

Matt

Allegedly Baby Keem made the Song reference for Kanye but he liked it so he just put it as is on there thats why when Keem raps badaboom etc. hes just catching the flow for the beat.

Mewkuma

Damn 2 hours and 2 parts!

william taylor

supposedly, the Donda Chant is in sync with his mom's heart beat before she passed.

Shane Anderson

I need it!!!!

Renzo Reinhardt

I see bcnr in the background, I think you should let your dad listen to them I think he's gonna love it. Either of the 2 tbh

Jelle de Jong

whens part two coming :(

Zach

YEO ASTROWORLD IN THE BACKGROUND

Don 19

I think it’s important to remember (and this applies to all reaction vids to Donda), that the song 24 is a tribute to Kobe. The lyrics mean a whole lot more when you realize that

Torin Huff

This is awesome

Torin Huff

Need this

Colby Kultgen

In the third episode of the Jeen-yuhs doc, they stick the image of the first Donda listening party in the section where Coodie shares the idea that our parents and those around us shape us into what we will be, (Donda and various collaborators, with Kanye; and Coodie with his daughter) and that there’s this mentorship that happens. and that’s actually a major theme of the album too, with the title track Donda being the main example in her case, and the album also shows Kanye being the person to help shape others, with the huge list of features and some of what they talk about. but you might miss it if you’re just expecting songs about Donda herself. I’d say the album is bigger than that

Robyn Castro

dang that analysis is beautiful. ive never thought about that but it makes sense. i hope they do some more kanye stuff in the future, still yandhi, donda 2 and plenty of singles!

papaollie

What about Life of Pablo?

Queleb

feels like kevin really needed some more context with this album, specifically with the listening parties. Donda is about leaving his past behind and finally moving on (as shown by him burning down his childhood home). the title and black cover represent finally laying her to rest so he can try to finally find peace after her death which has been a black cloud over his head for almost 15 years now. continuing to ruminate over her was never the point of the album, in fact quite the opposite.

Jason

depends on the phone, older androids it absolutely affects ram usage.

papaollie

please continue with travis scott

betsinasa

24 was amazing man

betsinasa

it's intentionally incohesive. it would be accurate to say it's not cohesive. i don't think you have to misunderstand the album to say it's incohesive.

Psykopomp

?

Peter Film

YES Please include this, Dunkey is a king and it's a fun tidbit that Kanye saw people meming his album release and leaned into the memes.

Peter Film

Do My Krazy Life by YG 😅

Omar Davenport

Robyn Castro

watch the throne next please

ParkerLelandSeaton

Connor, peace and love, but closing apps in multitasking does not make your phone run any better. You don't have to close those! :D

Joshua Sauder

Ok Ok pt 2 blows the other one out of the water.

Tyler Johnson

I think Ye still feels lost. He’s praying his mom can still guide him through everything he’s going through.

Miguel Perez

Same. They should do Texas Sun and Moon reactions 😭

Markus Strøm

I've been enjoying Leon bridges so much lately so when Kevin chose Texas sun for the sound check made it me smile

Andreea

WATCH THE THRON?!!!

Joshua Raggs

Such great content keep up the good work guys

Tristan D

People who say it has no direction completely misunderstand the album.

MusicEnjoyer8

Love to see FTFT represented on the wall

Erik Hays

Kevin - official certified hip hop connoisseur 👌 the squint face when you hear something filthy is a badge of honour haha

mwdoom

It’s so sad how they have to avoid speaking on Travis 🤧

Th3fatki113r

Junya Pt 2 and Remote Control Pt 2 and Jesus Lord Pt 2 are superior to their part 1s and you really should show him them

Noah Kahan

The ending for Remote Control came from a joke video before Donda was released, with a fake stream of the album. https://youtu.be/m5P24B-s7ks?t=255 Insinuating that Kanye could put anything on the album and his fans would think it's fire. I like the self-awareness to put this on the album as a little joke

Steven Andrews

its not as cohisive as his former projects like yeezus but its lightly cohesive mostly the donda connection thats through this album is mostly via his religion but the album is mostly about kim heartbreak confusion,slight cancel culture/mental jail/actual jail and using some of his moms words of wisdom mixed with god to move forward but tbh..i wouldve rather have this unreleased song as the intro https://youtu.be/fR1c8Qw3wEA

ZaNe CuDi

Not going to lie, coming into this video I disliked the album. I still do, but I’m glad that Kevin shares a lot of the same sentiments as a bit more of an objective listener. This album has no direction, it sounds incomplete, messy, etc., it’s like a nearly 2 hour interlude save for Off The Grid. It’s what I thought JIK was going to be tbh. Kanye’s fall from his peak has been much more drastic than even Eminem. I’m curious about Conner’s take on the album as a whole, you (Conner) and I seemed to share the same level of enthusiasm listening to this lmao

Zac

The title is a little misleading, its less ABOUT Kanyes Mom and more how the things she taught him have helped him through this part of his life (losing his wife, wanting to be closer to god)

Ben Gelfand

Great video guys, I adore this page, first guys I’ve ever supported in patron. Would love to see your dads reaction to Ants From Up There by Black Country, New Road. My top album of the past 5 years honestly.

Oliver D. Bramhill

junya is ridiculous, top 5 on the album no question

Eric Davenport

period. one of the best on the record for sure

Eric Davenport

pls react to the divine feminine by mac

kate chiado

I never had a favourite album but if I was to pick I would pick Donda this album is ridiculous

Michael Bidek

Idk if it’s bs but I heard donda chant was sang in the heartbeat pattern of Kanye’s mom right when she was passing

Chris

please listen to keep my spirit alive part 2 because its the original version of the song when donda was first released

Klokkey

I’m dying at the fact that Kevin said donda donda donda at the beginning before he even heard the first song hahahah

Frank Helmstetter

I don't know if you know but 24 was written after Kobe Bryant died

Onyx Carti's Kid

If Kevin wants the best of both worlds he should check out the live version of 808s & Heartbreaks on Hollywood Bowl from 2015... it's one of my favorite Kanye experiences and elevates him and the album to a whole other level. Some Dean guitars too.

Carl Fortea

Since you've gone through the discgoraphy you guys should react to the kanye drake concert - would be dope

Supahot

Connor, are you by any chance ADHD? I’ve noticed you try to finish Kevin’s sentences...A LOT. lol It’s understandable if you are tho since i am as well but i would really love for Kevin to finish his thoughts because he might be trying to say something other than what you said, so he just ends up agreeing with you.

undrxpsd

please do the single version of Life of the Party so that Kevin can hear Andre's verse uncensored

Jack-Harris Bruce

so happy yall are finally doing donda! keep up the great work!

Klokkey

Disagree, the interlude version we got is way better

MusicEnjoyer8

I really think you should consider showing him the original version of Donda (South Carolina) because it fits the Donda theme a lot better https://youtu.be/JUAXZDhjemw

Collin Barrett

Modus Vivendi first

Louis Herrera

DaBaby's verse on Jail pt. 2 is my favorite on the entire album. Would be a shame to skip it

Louis Herrera

freddie gibbs and madlib, either album but preferably the first one! yeee

Jamie Bryon

24 one of his best songs, lol

Wout Mattens

Should have listened in one sitting without the part 2s. I also find it interesting that Kevin doesn’t find Donda cohesive. He also said the same thing about TLOP. I think he’s just misunderstanding it honestly

MusicEnjoyer8

Kevin will like part 2 a lot more. Its more of what he expected than part 1

Brady

We need a weeknd discography review

P

Do the new pusha t album

Mark B

baby keem album reaction plz

scooter

I think a curated list of ye leaks could be a nice stream or some discord event.

Chris Bell (Slick Daddy W)

i cant wait for the life of the party reaction that andre 3000 verse is one of the best hip hop features ive heard

Freddie Black

I think Kevin will like the second side a lot better. I for one love Junya, 24, and Remote. Junya is a great song to get crazy to. 24 made me cry (we gonna be okay!). And Remote just sets a mood.

Jordy

For Conner, City in the sky is also a classic from the yandhi leaks

SloppySwish

Shoulda listened to Junya Pt 2 instead of the original… waayyyyyy better

Courtland Hughes

isnt can u be and future sounds private for the finished versions and the only public ones are edits and mumble demos? i think they should just stick to yandhi for a start for kanye leaks, and maybe some of the other comps if it does well or they even want to do it

papaollie

OMG IT’S HAPPENING, EVERYONE STAY CALM

Melo

You could show your dad some leaked/sketch songs of kanye like Can U Be, City in the Sky, Future Sounds, Aliens, LA Monster, Slave Name, New Body, Brothers, Cash to Burn, Chakras, Never See Me Again, etc... It would be an AMAZING listening just with unreleased Kanye songs, he has an incredible unreleased discography (better than some artists discogs tbh).

Daniel

No shade at all, i think the issue is he kept saying he loves Donda, keen for the album about her. and wasn't ever corrected. I have noticed it for a few tracks maybe 3 months? Since the Netflix series he has been expecting something deep about Donda and i don't think it was ever gonna be that, could have corrected him BUT i get why they don't wanna spoil it by saying nah it's not it's like this

Peter Film

I find the cohesion in the graveyard atmosphere with reverbs, distortion, and the reliance on the organ. Kanye is developing his faith even further so that he can connect back with his mother and brings others to grow their faith in this dark odyssey. The Donda chants were the sounds of Donda's last heartbeats which is why they slow down and then transition to a guitar rhythm that resembles a beating heart.

Diego Medina

A little bummed out Kevin seemed to have too high of expectations coming in, and seeing a disconnect on songs I love like 24 and Jonah. But oh well, can’t like everything, looking forward to part 2.

Aiden Woodworth

24 was dedicated for Kobe

Captainextra

tbh kevin will get his balls blown off by life of the party and come to life

Jacob Martinez

Need to do 070 shake's new album!!

Eric Martineau

Make sure you guys listen to the uncensored version of life of the party, won’t make a huge difference but I’d assume Kevin would prefer it that way👍🏽

Aidan Holmes

something about knowing what's ahead, in my opinion, is why so many people watch these types of videos. Regardless, watching Kevin's reactions to new songs will be really interesting too, another cool aspect tho is that in a way it will be like we are listening to new stuff together.

Ben Caldwell

Hey man - Nice video, you mentioned that it Was Baby Keem’s vocals in the beginning of Praise God, but it’s actually Travis’ vocals :)

Tobias Theglev

There is a video on Youtube showing how the Donda chat pattern lines up with the the instrumental for jail.

okmyfriend

you guys should do yhandi

Dylan Rombes

Not doing the part 2’s is fine other than I really wanted to see his reaction to Shenseea’s verse on Ok Ok pt. 2 she kills it, easily the best verse on either version

Owen Pearson

I can appreciate all kinds of music, and I always give everything a try, but man. I have not been able to get back into Kayne, past his first few albums. Maybe I'll like the next one!

Andi Watson

Donda’s

Jeffrey

the donda chant represents Fonda’s last heartbeats. vv cool

Jeffrey

Can’t wait for Kev’s reaction to Come to Life in pt 2

Anna Russell

OHHH I BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE!! TURN IT UPPPP

jojo

Junya is a vibe more than anything

SomeDudeInJerz

Been waiting for this for so long and after being a loyal YouTube subscriber I’ve decided it’s time to show my appreciation to you both properly, love from the UK and we’re hoping that in the near future The Slow Rush by Tame Impala is coming up soon followed by some more MF Doom/Wu Tang Clan.

Ben

Dudes! I love Texas Sun. Khruangbin is a really great band. If you haven't already you should listen to some of their other stuff!

Simon Hansson

"let's just play any old thing for the sound test" boots up a SPECTACULAR khruangbin track

Andi Watson

Yandhi next?

Sahil Sahota

have been waiting so long for this video. so glad we went through his discography first, the wait was worth it. I've been a huge fan of kanye for years for this and i know most people rank this near the bottom of his discography but this near the top for me. love this album and love you guys thanks for the content the journey was awesome.

Gabe Mendes

Btw, hearing your dad say he wants to get into Jay Z, you guys should really consider doing The Blueprint. Half Kanye West production and shows his roots!! Thank you guys!
